Day Two Wednesday Dec 27,2017
After labouring on a slow and flat pitch on day one, England's bowlers were transformed in the morning, with debutant paceman Tom Curran proving the unlikely catalyst.
The 22-year-old Surrey seamer bowled Steve Smith for 76 with the second ball of his first spell, having the skipper drag a wider, short delivery onto his stumps.
It not only secured Curran his first test wicket but ended Smith's unbeaten reign at the MCG since his last dismissal in the Boxing Day test against India in 2014.
Shaun Marsh dug in to raise his third half-century of the series before being trapped leg before by Broad for 61, the wicket awarded after the bowler demanded a review.
James Anderson bowled Paine for his 520th test wicket, pulling past West Indies great Courtney Walsh to fifth on the all-time list, and grabbed a third victim for the innings by dismissing Nathan Lyon lbw for a duck.
Stuart Broad capped off a dominant morning for England by trapping tail-ender Jackson Bird lbw for four and having Pat Cummins caught at slip for four after lunch.
England's rookie top order batsmen Mark Stoneman (15) and James Vince (17) fell cheaply but Alastair Cook carried the fight to Australia, riding his luck when Smith dropped him on 66 in the slips.
Alastair Cook and Joe Root combined for a 112-run partnership to give England hope of mowing down Australia's first innings total and taking a substantial lead.
Alastair Cook raised his 32nd test ton with a pull-shot to the fence in the final over before stumps, and strode off the ground unbeaten on 104, having pushed England to 192/2 on day two at MCG
Alastair Cook's successor as captain, Joe Root, was 49 not out, the pair having reduced Australia's lead to 135 runs.

Test Debut - Tom Curran(England)

Australia started the day in a position of strength at 244/3 but were
bowled out for 327, losing their last seven wickets for 67 runs.
After labouring on a slow and flat pitch on day one, England's bowlers were transformed in the morning, with debutant paceman Tom Curran proving the unlikely catalyst.
The 22-year-old Surrey seamer bowled Steve Smith for 76 with the second ball of his first spell, having the skipper drag a wider, short delivery onto his stumps.
It not only secured Curran his first test wicket but ended Smith's unbeaten reign at the MCG since his last dismissal in the Boxing Day test against India in 2014.
Steve Smith was one of three Australian batsmen out chopping onto the stumps,
with all-rounder Mitchell Marsh (9) and wicketkeeper Tim Paine (24)
falling in the same fashion.
Shaun Marsh dug in to raise his third half-century of the series before being trapped leg before by Broad for 61, the wicket awarded after the bowler demanded a review.
James Anderson bowled Paine for his 520th test wicket, pulling past West Indies great Courtney Walsh to fifth on the all-time list, and grabbed a third victim for the innings by dismissing Nathan Lyon lbw for a duck.
Stuart Broad capped off a dominant morning for England by trapping tail-ender Jackson Bird lbw for four and having Pat Cummins caught at slip for four after lunch.
Stuart Broad, another Englishman under the microscope after playing a
negligible part in the first three tests, captured 4-51 as Australia's
day one resistance melted in the morning heat.
England's rookie top order batsmen Mark Stoneman (15) and James Vince (17) fell cheaply but Alastair Cook carried the fight to Australia, riding his luck when Smith dropped him on 66 in the slips.
Alastair Cook and Joe Root combined for a 112-run partnership to give England hope of mowing down Australia's first innings total and taking a substantial lead.
Alastair Cook completed a sparkling century in a stellar return to form
as England savoured a rare day of domination in the fourth Ashes test
against Australia on Wednesday
Alastair Cook raised his 32nd test ton with a pull-shot to the fence in the final over before stumps, and strode off the ground unbeaten on 104, having pushed England to 192/2 on day two at MCG
Alastair Cook's successor as captain, Joe Root, was 49 not out, the pair having reduced Australia's lead to 135 runs.
